No, this doesn't involve a real prison...

I've actually seen this done at many political events to raise money and etc.
This is how ya do it. Okay, the main jist is that you can have ppl put in 'jail' for like 3-5 dollars. So let's say I want to put Tom Earp in jail. So, I tell the ppl who's throwing this shindig (you) I want him to be in jail and you and your respective posse go and find him at the party 'arrest' him, and them stick him in this streamer-lined 'cell'. So, after I pay the initial fee for that (you've just made about 5 bucks) and if he would like to get out of the cell he has to pay a fee of about 5 bucks and or he can get some friends to set bail for him.

(You've just made a total of 10 bucks) This is a lot of fun to set up ppl in the cell

(<-- once put Mom's boss in..) You can make bunches-o-bunches of money through this. Heck, tack on some extra buckage to throw in a faculty member and/or a campus rent-a-cop! Think about it, just putting 10 ppl at 5 bucks a charge and bail it's $100 bucks easy

Well, hope this idea works for ya'll!!!!
